Page Numbering

[SortyMorty]

Hi, how would I go about numbering pages based on a system like 1,1,1? Where the first number is the chapter, the second is the section and the third is the page number?

You can add page numbers, but adding chapter and section numbers you'll need a feature like InDesgin "Define variable" based on a paragraph or character style and then Insert variable.

Unfortunately, it's not available right now in publisher, I was going to make a feature request post for this but the dev team is busy fixing bugs before official release now instead of adding new features.

I used it before to add chapter titles on the running head, it's very useful too for scientific books and dictionaries/indexes.

That is not an excuse for not posting such a request.  They may not implement it for this release (I wouldn't expect them to at this point) but that doesn't mean they won't add it to the list of things to consider for later.

As fde101 said anytime is a good time for such a request. I could find several uses for such a Section, Subsection etc. series of auto fields.
